PNNL’s Grid Batteries: Better Energy Storage Technology for the Power Grid Pacific Northwest National Laboratory 2022-11-17 | Batteries for the grid are the key to storing electricity generated from renewable sources. A special kind of battery—a redox flow battery—is ideal for grid storage because they can be easily scaled to store more energy. PNNL has developed next-generation redox flow batteries using different materials as we strive to discover lower cost, sustainable electrolytes. PNNL aims to exceed the Department of Energy’s Long-Duration Storage Shot goal for the next decade: grid batteries that deliver full power for more than 10 hours while costing 90 percent less.Learn more at pnnl.gov/grid-energy-storage This video was first played at the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties (COP) 27 in Egypt on November 15, during a panel discussion led by Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm.#energystorage #gridstorage #redoxflowbattery #gridbatteries #renewableenergyFor more information about PNNL, visit: pnnl.gov Facebook: facebook.com/PNNLgov Twitter: twitter.com/PNNLab LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/pacific-northwest-national-laboratory Instagram: instagram.com/pnnlabSubscribe to PNNL News: share.hsforms.com/1KzC7T7UJQtSp0wgmB-nKzw3uxo
